Chocolate Peanut Butter Spread (vegan, gluten-free)
Servings 10.5
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (90 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips make sure to use dairy-free / vegan, if needed
- 2 cups (400 grams) roasted and salted peanuts or 1 1/2 cups + 1 tablespoon (400 grams) roasted and salted natural peanut butter (the kind with no added fat or sugar)
- 2 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder regular cocoa powder also works but I prefer the more chocolaty taste of Dutch-process
- a pinch of salt if your peanuts aren't already salted
Instructions
- Using the s-blade of your food processor, process the peanuts until creamy. At first there'll be ground peanuts, and then it'll start to come together in a ball, then it'll actually be a ball, and then the ball will break down and be super creamy.2 cups (400 grams) roasted and salted peanuts
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl at half power, in 30 second increments, stirring after each 30 seconds. Add the cocoa powder and salt, if using, and pulse.1/2 cup (90 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder, a pinch of salt
- Then add the melted chocolate and pulse a few times until it's thoroughly combined.
- I store this at room temperature so that it'll remain nice and creamy. You could store it in the fridge if you like but it will harden quite a bit, making it difficult to spread.
Notes
- If you're vegan or dairy-free, make sure to use dairy-free or vegan chocolate.
